A parallelization based on MPI and OpenMP of an algorithm that evaluates and counts all the possible communities of a graph is presented. Performance results of the parallelization of the algorithm obtained on a cluster ...

Brown carbon (BrC) is involved in atmospheric light absorption and climate forcing and can cause adverse health effects. Understanding the formation mechanisms and molecular structure of BrC is of key importance in developing ...

Biclustering é uma técnica definida como a clusterização simultânea de linhas e colunas de uma matriz de dados. Dada uma matriz real m-por-n, esse trabalho define um novo tipo de bicluster: em qualquer uma de suas colunas, ...

A multihead weighing process is a packaging technology that can be of strategic importance to a company, as it can be a key to competitive advantage in the modern food industry. The improvement in the process quality and ...

Irreversible multilayer adsorption of semirigid k -mers on one-dimensional lattices of size L is studied by numerical simulations complemented by exhaustive enumeration of configurations for small lattices. The deposition ...

This paper discusses the problem of whether creating a matrix with all the character state combinations that have a fixed number of steps (or extra steps) on a given tree T, produces the same tree T when analyzed with ...

This paper presents the combined use of two systematic methods for the synthesis of planar linkage mechanisms satisfying multiple kinematic tasks. First, a Graph Theory-based method is used to exhaustively enumerate the ...
